Strategic Planning for Integrated Mobility-on-Demand and Urban Public Bus Networks
2020
App-based services and ridesharing in the field of mobility-on-demand (MoD) create a new mode of transport between motorized individual transport and public transportation whose long-term role in the urban mobility landscape and within public transport systems is not fully understood as of today. For the public transport industry, these new services offer new chances but also risks, making planning models and tools for integrated intermodal network planning indispensable. We develop a strategic network planning optimization model for bus lines that allows for intermodal trips with MoD as a first or last leg. Starting from an existing public transport network, we decide simultaneously on th…
Multifunctional platforms for cancer theranosis
2018
The objective of this thesis was to develop multifunctional tools for cancer theranosis, particularly based on nanotechnology. The work is based on the premise of monomolecular multimodal platform that aims to create the building blocks that can be used for the synthesis of functionalized nanoparticles, bioconjugates or targeted small molecular imaging probes.The initial work focused on the synthesis of the chelator based silane precursors. These novel precursors were employed for the functionalization of AGuIX nanoparticles and have also been implicated in a one pot AGuIX synthesis. Radiolabelling of these nanoparticles was performed with the aim to evaluate the stability of these nanopart…
Multimodal Perspective into Teachers’ Definitional Practices: Comparing Subject-Specific Language in Physics and History Lessons
2021
This chapter compares two teachers’ definitional practices in two Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) lessons, i.e. physics and history, which are taught in English in Finland. It adopts Dalton-Puffer’s (Eur J Appl Linguistics 1(2):216–253, 2013; Cognitive discourse functions: specifying an integrative interdisciplinary construct. In: Nikula T, Dafouz E, Moore P, Smit U (eds) Conceptualising integration in CLIL and multilingual education. Bristol: Multilingual Matters, pp. 29–54, 2016) theoretical construct of cognitive discourse functions (CDF) and showcases how it can be operationalized with empirical grounding. Multimodal conversation analysis (CA) is used to trace and observ…
Classification par méthodes d’apprentissage supervisé et faiblement superviséd’images multimodales pour l’aide au diagnostic du lentigo malin en derm…
2021
Carried out in collaboration with the Saint-Étienne University Hospital, this work provides additional information to help the skin diagnosis by providing new decision methods on Lentigo Maligna and Lentigo Maligna Melanoma pathologies. To this end, the modalities regularly used in clinical conditions are made available to this work and are orchestrated within a multimodal process. Among image modalities, may be mentioned the clinical photography, the dermatoscopy, and the confocal reflectance microscopy. Initially, the first steps of this manuscript focus on reflectance confocal microscopy as the work in computer diagnostic assistance is relatively underdeveloped, in particular on the dete…
Critical Literacy in the subject Norwegian: How students (13–14 years) read and evaluate multimodal commercial texts
2022
Denne artikkelen presenterer funn frå ei spørjeundersøking om kritisk lesing og vurdering som omfattar eit utval på 228 norske elevar på åttande trinn (13–14 år). Studien undersøkjer både kva oppfatningar om kritisk lesing elevane formidlar og korleis elevar vurderer og grunngir lesinga si av multimodale kommersielle tekstar. Eit hovudfunn i studien er at forståinga av kritisk lesing som kjeldekritikk er mest utbreidd blant elevane. Ein stor del av elevane har såleis ei rimeleg, men avgrensa oppfatning av kva det vil seie å nærme seg ein tekst på ein kritisk måte. Elevane forbind i mindre grad kritisk lesing med det å nærme seg teksten på ein analytisk måte. Eit anna hovudfunn er at ein del…
La promoción de la imagen política en Instagram: un estudio del perfil personal de Santiago Abascal (Vox) en 2018
2020
Due to Instagram’s growing popularity in Spain, politicians have also begun to turn to this social network increasingly more. Accordingly, this paper analyses the visual and textual discourse of 259 posts published throughout 2018 on the personal Instagram profile of Santiago Abascal, the leader of the party Vox. Insofar as he is the Spanish politician with the highest number of followers on Instagram, the aim here is to analyse how he uses this social network in order to identify possible strategies that justify his growing number of followers. In the analysis, special attention was paid to aspects that might have contributed to the (self)presentation of Abascal and the promotion of his pa…
Exploiting multimodality for intelligent mobile access to pervasive services in cultural heritage sites
2010
In this chapter the role of multimodality in intelligent, mobile guides for cultural heritage environments is discussed. Multimodal access to information contents enables the creation of systems with a higher degree of accessibility and usability. A multimodal interaction may involve several human interaction modes, such as sight, touch and voice to navigate contents, or gestures to activate controls. We first start our discussion by presenting a timeline of cultural heritage system evolution, spanning from 2001 to 2008, which highlights design issues such as intelligence and context-awareness in providing information. Then, multimodal access to contents is discussed, along with problems an…
"Nerdfighters, we did it" : means of building a sense of community on the YouTube channel Vlogbrothers
2015
YouTube on tärkeä uusi ilmiö ja suosittu viihdekanava etenkin nuorten keskuudessa. YouTube-yhteisöjen suosiosta huolimatta ei niistä ole vielä tehty juurikaan tutkimusta, ja nettiyhteisöjen tutkimus onkin kohdistunut lähinnä tekstipohjaisiin yhteisöihin, kuten foorumeihin. Tutkielmani tarkoituksena on selvittää, kuinka YouTuben videobloggaajat rakentavat yhteisöllisyyden tunnetta faniensa keskuudessa. Tutkimuskohteenani on YouTube-kanava Vlogbrothers, jolla on yli kaksi miljoonaa vakituista katsojaa ja jonka ympärille on rakentunut poikkeuksellisen tiivis kansainvälinen katsojayhteisö. Videodataa analysoimalla pyrin erottamaan erilaisia keinoja, joilla vloggaajat vahvistavat yhteisöllisyyde…
Capturing learning in classroom interaction in mathematics: Methodological considerations
2015
International audience; This paper discusses issues of how to transcribe and analyze video-recordings when studying learning in small group work in mathematics. Since bodily features of interaction and the use of artefacts play important roles in mathematical reasoning, a multimodal approach to transcribing is necessary. Thus, the theoretical grounding for transcriptions has to be in accord with the perspective on learning adopted in the analysis. In the paper, the principles for studying what Radford (2000) refers to as knowledge objectification processes when learning mathematics will be discussed.
Metaphorical GIFs and humour online: the case of “when” posts on Tumblr
2021
International audience; “When” posts have now become a staple of microblogging platforms such as Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook. They consist of two things: a verbal caption opening with “When” followed by an assertive clause describing a situation of life on the one hand, and a static or moving image presenting a visual elaboration of the situation described in the caption on the other hand. “When” posts rely on the striking relationship between what the caption describes and what the image shows. In the case of the posts selected for the present study, this relationship is metaphorical: the caption and the image, which are juxtaposed without mediation, act respectively as a verbal tenor and …
